Kristin stood in a daze as the next girl was called forward. She was tiny, even shorter than Kristin, and very petite, with olive skin and black hair that made her look Indian or Latina. None of the girls had been unafraid, but she was obviously almost petrified with fear, her eyes huge and her whole body trembling.
The trainer's manner was very calm and gentle as he inspected her.
"Don't worry, pequena. I'm not going to hurt you. I'm just going to give you a new name. English is fine, right?"
The girl shivered with eyes forward as though she hadn't heard him. He slapped her face gently.
"Resposta-se."
She nodded slightly, tears welling in her eyes.
"Say 'Yes, Sir'."
She squeaked something indistinct.
"Louder."
"Yes, Sir." Kristin couldn't place the accent.
"You're a delicate little flower, so I'm going to call you lilly. Tell me your name."
"Antonia."
"Antonia is dead, lilly. Tell me your name."
The girl lowered her head and sobbed. He stood in front of her, lifting her chin so her eyes met his as tears rolled down her cheeks.
"You're lilly. Say it."
She cried and twisted her head slightly, prompting another gentle slap on the cheek.
"Say it, lilly. I don't want to hurt you, so be a good girl. I won't say it again."
"lilly."
"Good girl. Back in place."
He stepped out of the way, but she just stood in place with her head down, crying.
"Go back to your place, lilly."
He gently swatted her bottom and she slowly returned to her place.
"All right, sluts. Adjust your position, don't forget how I told you to stand at rest. Now I want all of you to get on your knees.
Butts back on your calves, hands on your thighs and eyes down. Go. Knees a little closer, minou. Straighten your back, lilly. Good girls."
His tone was much gentler than it had been as he addressed them again.
"Now, slaves, let's talk about how I'm going to train you. First, you own nothing. Everything you have right now is a privilege from me. Speaking is a privilege, and will be revoked if you can't do it right. Standing on your hind legs is a privilege. The hair on your heads is a privilege. All I have to do is keep you alive, and that's only because if I damage the merchandise, it comes out of my pocket. I am not a cruel man, and I will be nice to you if you're good for me. You look like a very good lot of girls, so I don't anticipate having to be too mean.
"I'm going to push you very hard, though, to make you the very best slaves you can possibly be. Down here, you're going to learn to accept pain with a smile and become the depraved little sluts I know you can be. If you prove you're useful sexually, we'll get you out of this basement and bring you upstairs and train you to be good servants. And if you're good little servants, we'll train you to be the world's finest courtesans.
"But you have to prove yourself down here first. For now, you have no privileges to use furniture, not that there is any down here. You speak only when spoken to. Either 'Yes, Sir', 'No, Sir', or a direct answer to a question. You don't use the word 'I', 'me', or 'my', You will say "this slave" instead. You will not even stand on your hind legs unless directed specifically otherwise. tits! Get over here!"
The girl rose to her feet unsteadily.
"Down, slave!"
She sunk to her knees again, confused.
"Did I tell you to stand? Just stay there. cunt, get your ass over here."
The red-haired girl looked at him slightly baffled, without moving.
"All fours, cunt."
She crawled slowly over to him, looking up at him.
"Keep your eyes down, cunt. Don't make eye contact unless I tell you to. That goes for all you sluts."
cunt reached the trainer, stopping on all fours at his feet.
"When you stop, get back on your knees in the kneeling rest."
She returned to the position, looking back up at him. He slapped her across the face, hard enough to turn her head to one side.
"Eyes down is part of it, cunt. I won't tell you again. Now, put your face down and your ass up in the air. Stretch your arms out in front of you, on either side of my feet, just like that. Put your right cheek on the floor. Good girl. This is the worship position. Now lick my boots, cunt."
The girl hesitated for a moment, but then her tongue reached out and gingerly touched his polished black military-style boot.
"Good girl. You can move your head around when I have you worship my boots."
She moved her head over to the other boot and gingerly touched her tongue to it as well.
"Enthusiasm, cunt. Whatever I tell you to do, you will do enthusiastically. Get your tongue out and make love to my boots."
After a few moments of licking, he nodded.
"Back up, cunt. Not bad for your first time. Now thank me for it. Anything I let you do, thank me."
"Thank you, Sir."
"Thanks for what, cunt?"
"Thank you for letting me lick your boots, Sir."
"Pronouns, cunt. You haven't earned them."
